I think I still have all those bills for room, board and tuition and Mom's 
house.  Seems like the first one was around $700 and the last one around $850.  
The tuition was $4/hour, but the fees went up a lot while we were there.

I found a receipt for my last semester, fall of 77, under $300 bucks, I lived 
off campus.

As a comparison, the last year of my youngest daughter’s undergrad at Brandeis 
U. in Boston, 2014-15, was $56K.
Not including airfares… All my daughters’ graduate degrees were on them!

TAMU is still a bargain!
And TAMU education enabled me to live this life. And no college debts. God 
bless TAMU!

Yeah, college inflation rates are higher than overall inflation.  I seem to 
recall a semester of tuition, room, and board, was a total of around $800?

Dean,
Inflation, tuition was $4 per credit hour in 1975. It's now 125 times that.
